Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Safe Heartworm Preventative

Besides ivomec/Heartgard there are 2 other heartworm preventative
options. Interceptor, the brown 0-10 pound dog size, can be used. It

is given once a month orally. The other option is Revolution. The
5-15 pound
cat size can be used. This is applied once a month over the shoulder
blades.
I also use the Interceptor tablets for my ferrets. They both will
actually
eat the beef flavored tablet on their own.
Hope that helps,
